ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Hager Companies announces the return of the 8300 Series Low Energy Automatic Door Operator.
Through an acquisition with the original manufacturer of the Tucker Auto-Mation SW19, Hager has solidified the ability to ramp up production of a popular product in the automatic door segment. This acquisition also reaffirms the company’s commitment to U.S. manufacturing and its Division 8 Contract Hardware Distributor partners.
“This is an exciting venture for Hager Companies that gives us direct operational control of an important and growing product offering. We are thrilled to be in a better position to support our current customers and their efforts to service the automatic door segment,” said Bob Wilkins, senior vice president of marketing and product development.
Once the transition is complete, Hager Companies will resume 8300 Series Low Energy Automatic Operator assembly operations in St. Louis, Mo. Since its introduction in 2019, the 8300 Series has built a reputation based on quality and value that will continue to grow with Hager’s ownership.
“As we celebrate 175 years in business, I am thrilled that we are talking about electrified products and automatic operators as it shows just how far Hager and technology have come over the years,” said Johnston Hager, president and CEO. “At the same time, it is great that we are getting back to our roots and reintroducing production in the St. Louis headquarters.”
